Share this: [embedded content] Tony Romo was a fine quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys, but the QB’s exit from the Big D has been nothing short of bizarre. Romo, somewhat surprisingly, announced his retirement from football earlier this month, taking a job with CBS as their No. 1 football analyst starting next season. It was a somewhat awkward end to his Dallas tenure where he set plenty of records but never really had too much postseason success. The Cowboys have stayed relatively quiet since Romo’s exit, but the Dallas Mavericks have been another story. Mark Cuban and the Mavs invited Romo to go through the pregame paces as a uniformed player and actually wanted him to play in the game only to be shot

NFL Rumors: Tony Romo Going To CBS, Will Replace Phil Simms As Top Analyst
Share this: We now know where Tony Romo will land for the 2017 NFL season, and it’s in the TV booth and not the football field.

What Does Jerry Jones’ Tom Brady Reference Mean For Cowboys’ QB Debate?
Share this: The Dallas Cowboys have an impending quarterback controversy on their hands, and the 2001 New England Patriots might be able to relate. Tony Romo is expected to return soon from a back injury that’s kept him out the entire season to date. The Cowboys haven’t exactly missed him, though, as rookie backup Dak Prescott has led Dallas to a 5-1 start. Jerry Jones initially insisted Romo would get his job back when healthy, but the Cowboys owner has backed off that stance in recent weeks.

Cowboys QB Tony Romo Breaks Bone In Back, Reportedly Could Miss 10 Weeks
Another year, another terrible injury for Tony Romo. The Dallas Cowboys confirmed their starting quarterback broke a bone in his back during Thursday’s preseason game against the Seattle Seahawks, and multiple reports are citing Romo’s timetable as a minimum six to ten week recovery period.
